Before you spark your butane torch watch this class with instructor Joe Silvera. Learn to ignite the torch, understand the flame, and refill your torch with ease. At the end of the class, you’ll know the ins and outs of handling your torch safely and with confidence.

This class has a run time of 21 minutes.

Tools

Set up in an open room with ventilation near a window

Protect your floor by covering it with an office mat or a carpet remnant

Everyone needs to watch this. Never soldering before I found it helpful and learned a lot. Once my equipment arrived I was ready to go and felt confident I was safe and would not burn down my home. Perfect, thank you.

If I were a teacher with a jewelry shop, this video would be Mandatory for all of my students to watch. Brilliant torch safety video with excellent instructions. This guy really knows his stuff and I can't wait to read his book. Thank you so much for keeping me safe. Aloha, :)

Awesome instructor. However, most of the videos were unavailable to play due to error.

Excellent video tutorial. Great content, presented professionally yet in a friendly manner. Joe knows his subject inside out. I was always too frightened to use butane torches and even attempt to solder. However,Joe inspires confidence and now I am so eager to go get the tools I need to start! 5 stars yet again, Beaducation team.

Great video!

this really takes me back to high school jewelry class, except my teacher had the oxy/acetylene. So glad this is something I can do at home without the need of those gasses. The instructor is very engaging and clear making this video easy to fallow!

This is a great step by step tutorial. It helped me get the confidence to try out a torch for the first time. And when it's been awhile since the last time I used my torch, its great a reminder of how the on/off and locking switches work. Joe is a great instructor, very clear and thoughtful.
